Two-Wheeled Vehicles Defined

If you're unclear on whether or not your two-wheeled vehicle requires registration, which would necessitate insurance, call the Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC) at (800) 522-8165.

Motorcycle―Any motor vehicle having a seat or saddle for the use of each rider; possessing not more than three wheels in contact with the ground, but excluding a tractor; and having a combustion engine with a piston or rotor displacement of greater than 150 cc.

Moped/Scooter―Even though they're generally smaller and pack less punch, some mopeds and scooters require titling, registration, and insurance. Contact the OTC for details.
